In a video posted on May 17, Cody talked about using AI to lose 25.2 lbs (approximately 11 kg) in 46 days.

Man uses ChatGPT to lose 11 kilos
Cody revealed that he went from 209 lbs (95 kg) to 183.8 lbs (83 kg) in 46 days. He shared that he was previously athletic but felt physically incapable of doing things that he loved due to weight gain and old injuries. He then decided to create a custom plan for nutrition and fitness, built a home gym that consisted of a dip bar, pull-up bar, resistance bands, kettlebells, and a weight vest.
Daily routine, discipline, diet and supplements
During his fitness journey, with the help of AI, Cody built himself a routine that included a healthy diet of whole foods, a healthy sleeping schedule, hydration, supplements, and discipline. Here's what he did:
1. Two meals a day with a long fasting window; no food after 5 PM.
2. Meals based on whole foods only:
Breakfast: 4 eggs, ½ pound lean grass-fed ground beef, steel-cut oats (1/3 cup), no sugar, quality salt, and greens supplement.
Dinner: 1/3 cup jasmine rice, 8 oz lean grass-fed meat (e.g., NY steak), high-quality olive oil or ½ avocado.
No processed food, seed oils, sugar, or dairy.
Focused on the best possible ingredients — organic, grass-fed, hormone-free.
3. Daily supplements (pre- and post-workout): creatine, beta-alanine, whey protein, collagen, magnesium, and others.
4. Wake up at 4:30 AM daily; workout at 6:00 AM in his garage gym, lasting from 60–90 minutes, six days a week.
5. No screens one hour before bed, blackout curtains, no synthetic sheets, and disciplined sleep hygiene.
6. Eating local raw honey before bed to support better sleep.
7. Drinking approximately 4 litres of water daily, with stopping water intake by 5–6 PM.
8. Prioritising 7-8 hours of sleep daily with no light or noise, no electronics before bed.
9. Daily morning sunlight, about 15–20 minutes daily, for health benefits.
10. Tracking daily fasted weight in a journal for AI to adjust the plan if needed.
Cody revealed that during his weight loss journey, he did not supplement with drugs or Ozempic; rather, he focused on whole foods, water, exercise, and sleep. This helped him gain strength and muscle, reduce inflammation and joint pain, and experience mental clarity and renewed confidence.

Surgeon shares 6 ways painkillers for period pain, headaches and paracetamol are ‘silently damaging your liver'
Are you one of those people who just pop a pill or painkiller without consultation from your doctor, or when there is some mild discomfort? According to Dr Sumit Kapadia, a vascular surgeon and varicose vein specialist, your painkillers may be silently damaging your liver without you even knowing about it. Even slightly exceeding the safe daily limit of taking painkillers can overwhelm your liver. (Freepik) Also Read | 56-year-old US man loses 11 kg in 46 days using AI; shares diet, routine, workout plan he used for transformation 6 ways painkillers silently damage your liver In an Instagram post shared on July 12, Dr Kapadia talked about the 6 ways painkillers are silently damaging your liver. He wrote, ''It's just one pill.' But when that one pill becomes a habit after every headache, period pain, or muscle ache, your liver starts paying the price.' Let's find out how painkillers may be harming your liver: 1. Overdose risk (especially with paracetamol) Even slightly exceeding the safe daily limit can overwhelm your liver. 2. Liver enzyme spikes Regular painkiller use can quietly raise your liver enzymes, damaging it without symptoms. 3. Fatty liver progression NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) may contribute to liver inflammation and worsen fatty liver in some cases. 4. Dangerous with alcohol Taking painkillers after drinking? A deadly combo for liver toxicity. 5. Masking symptoms You treat the pain, not the cause, letting the underlying issue (and inflammation) silently grow. 6. Liver failure in extreme cases Chronic overuse, especially without supervision, can lead to irreversible damage. The surgeon warned, 'Your liver doesn't scream until it's already hurt. It works quietly, until it can't anymore.' He suggested 3 ways you can stop painkillers from becoming the silent liver killers: What to do instead: Use painkillers only when truly needed Never exceed recommended doses Always consult your doctor if you're taking them often Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Cardiologist says strength training is ‘an easy shortcut to ageing in reverse': Strong muscles protect heart, brain
Whether you are training to lose weight or just staying fit, often cardio is the first preference for many. However, it is not enough. You need to add strength training to your daily workout regimen to protect your brain, heart, lean muscles, and boost overall health. Moreover, it also helps you age in reverse. Regular strength training is important because after 40, you lose up to 1 percent of your muscle mass per year. After 50? That number doubles.(Freepik) Also Read | Dentist says 'number 1 cause of cavities is mouth breathing not sugar'; shares 7 more oral hygiene tips In a post shared on July 12, Dr Sanjay Bhojraj, MD, a functional medicine doctor and an interventional cardiologist, talked about using strength training to age in reverse. Why is building strength important? Talking about how strength training helps, the cardiologist wrote, 'An easy shortcut to ageing in reverse from a functional cardiologist of 20+ years.' He stressed that while walking and doing cardio are good for your health, building your strength is also important. He explained, 'Here's what we know: After age 40, you lose up to 1 percent of your muscle mass per year. After 50? That number doubles. If you've considered—or are using—GLP‑1 meds like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro to lose weight, you could also be losing up to 40 percent of the total weight lost as lean muscle mass, not just fat.' Strength training makes you stronger When that happens, your muscle loss will be directly tied to: Mortality risk Falls and fractures Metabolic decline Hormone imbalances Cognitive impairment He explained that strength training isn't about gains. It's about resilience. As strong muscles are equal to a sharp brain, a protected heart, and years added to your life. 'This isn't about working harder. It's about training smarter — with a plan that actually works with your age, your hormones, and your recovery,' the cardiologist stressed. Additionally, strength training doesn't just help you shed pounds; it also helps you keep your muscles, so you don't end up lighter and weaker.
